ECOLOGICAL DISASTER AHEAD? Plastic waste piles up at Badhwar Park, Colaba, threatening marine life, ecosystems & public health. Without urgent cleanup & stronger policies, biodiversity & local livelihoods are at risk. Community action is critical to tackle Mumbai’s plastic crisis

Amid Dadar’s bustling flower market, 8-year-old Thanushka studies on the footpath outside her plastic-sheet shelter. Class topper at Sharada Ashram Vidya Mandir, her parents sell flowers & clean clinics to fuel her dream. Determination blooms where hope lives. 🌸📚 #Mumbai

A 4.78m high tide slammed into Bandra's slums yesterday — flooding homes, ripping up pavements, and exposing just how vulnerable our coastal poor remain. This wasn’t just a natural disaster. It was a failure of preparedness. 📸 SL Shanth Kumar #Bandra #Mumbai #HighTide #Urban

Just 120 km from Mumbai, Dapurmal isn’t behind it’s been left behind. A tiny Adivasi hamlet of 250 people, perched on a hilltop in Thane. Forgotten. Worlds apart.

Childhood Unscripted Children live in a world we often forget fear takes a backseat, joy comes in puddles, hammocks, and stray cricket balls. Their laughter is louder than worry, their happiness unconditional.
